| Caption | Christ among sick people and the Pharisees ('The hundred guilder print'). Wood engraving by H Linton after T Beech (?) after Rembrandt, 1649. The sick people proceed out of the dimness of one side of the print towards the half-light in which Christ stands. On the other side, behind two anxious apostles (Peter is closest to Christ), the Pharisees dispute in a glaring light. A woman stands in front of Christ with her baby; a rich young man next to her has his hand clasped to his face. A camel enters from the dark side, behind a cart carrying a child. KG Boon, in 'Rembrandt: the complete etchings' (Thames & Hudson: London, 1963), suggests that the print is known as 'The hundred guilder print' because the subject matter is too huge for a simple title; it combines "in one representation the whole nineteenth chapter of the Gospel of St Matthew, wherein the essence of Christ's ministry is set forth".
